Pros

40% discount on most items; 20% discount on electronics; work from home

Cons

expected to have average handling times of 237 seconds or just under 4 minutes; they care less about quality of call and more about how long you are on calls; they prefer you tell customer that you can call them back if call is over 10 minutes so that when you call them back you are in a different mode approved by a supervisor just so your handling time looks good for you and your supervisor whose goal is to have team on low handling times so they can earn bonuses? what is the benefit of having a callback within a minute or 2 to the customer?? no benefit to customer.... also told not to offer extra info that may help customer.... only give info for what cust asks about and nothing more to keep talk time low.... theory is cust can just call back for next issue

Pros

Only pros - wfh and you get a nice discount

Cons

Everything else. Management/corporate have unrealistic kpis. You can only use the rr during your SCHEDULED break. You have to offer a sale to EVERY CALLER even if they are already upset. You can NOT hang up even if the customer is screaming/offending you. My manager once said I should’ve been more patient. Mind you the customer was already using foul language and belittling me. I POLITELY asked the customer to please refrain from using that kind of language. It continued and I told her I would have to release the call. Also you stop getting a raise after 2 years. You cap at $17/hr.
